Against the Government.

BERLIN, February 2l.-The elections iii
this city have resulted unfayorably for all
the Government candidates. In four OF
the six divisions, second ballots will lie
necessary, but in each Of these divisions
the anti-Scptenate candidates has at pres
ent 4 majority.
LONDON, February. The peace oI
Europe probably depends upon the result
of the elections of members of the Reich
stag, which is in progress to-day.
Advices from Berlin state that an enor-
nous vote is being pOlled.
The recent scmi-ofliclal declaration of the
North German Gd.dtC, that unless the new
body shows . pronounced majority for Bis
marck and the Septennate bill it will he
Immediately dissolved, has not materially
assisted the Government, but has rather
given an opportunity to the opposition to
to what they term the insolent dictation
and attempted coercion OF the voters. Be-
tween fifty and sixty seats are closely con-
tested, two-thirds belonging to the Pro-
gressists and the balance to the party of
the Centre
The Catholic influence is being strongly
used in favor of the Government as n con-
sequence of the Pope's recently expressed
wish that the Centre party should adopt a
policy of Cancellation on the Septennate
bill, in order TO enable his Holiness to
meet the views of Bismarck and secure i'm
provements in the position Of the Papacy.
The standing of the new Reichstag will be
known in general way by midnight
The merchants and shippers of this city
engaged in trade with Germany are doing
no business, but are awaiting with fevcrish
anxiety the result of the election.
An analysis Of the polling shows that
to-day's contest was unprecedently stub
born. As the night advanced the excite
ment became intense. Thousands of peO-
pie surrounded the newspaper offices wait
ing special editions giving returns. 1t is
stated that Singer and Hszenclever
have each $1,000 majority in this city.
Second ballots are necessary in Koenings-
berg, Elbcrfeld, Breslau, Lubbock, Dres-
den, Allstadt, Frankfort, Dantzic, Stettin,
Cologne and Munich. Septennists are
elected in Bremen, Leipsic and Bruins
wick.
The Socialist organization has been most
complete. Socialist electors were brought
TO the polls in battalions. Two Socialists
are returned from Breslau. Richter is re-
turned for Tagen. Prince Bismarck, on
appearing at his polling station in the
second division in this city, was greeted
with a storm Of cheers.
According TO the reballOt arrangement it
is probable that Berlin will be represented
by three new German Liberals and three
Socialists. In the Fourth division of this
city Singer, Socialist, received 1886,

Hold the Balance of Power I'm the New
Jersey Contest.
NEW YORK, February 2l.-A dispatch
to the San, from Trenton, n. j., regarding
the struggle TO elect successor to United
States Senator Sewell, says
The balance of power is said TO be in the
hands of the two labor members, but this
is not SO.
The real balance of power is held by n
few corrupt men, who are using it for all it
is worth, and fcathering their nests from
both sides at once. When the fountains
dry, and these men have Mt last to settle
down on one side or the other. the contest
will be over in short order. There is no
sign yet that the fountains have run dry ON
either side. The situation now is, or was
the last time anyone could tell anything
about it, that Albeit has thirty-iiyc votes
and needs six more. There are six Demo
Gratis who have been supporting other can
didates. Five of these. il is thought, will
ultimately vote with the party, but
Speaker Baird, the remaining Democrat
necessary to make up the majority, will
never vote for Albeit, and the Albeit peo-
pie have definitely given him up.
The two political mysteries Of the As
sembly CDonohue and Carroll the Labor
men, remain, one or the other of whom
Albeit must get TO I've successful. Alb
belts friends say Carroll is booked for the
place of last man in making up the Albeit
column On the Republican side there
are thirty-five men voting for Sewell.
There are three boilers. Two of these may
20 over to Sewell, but there is little chance
of the third doing 80, and there is no like
lihood of Sewell's getting the support OF
the Labor men. without them there il no
chance of his election.
II il claimed that the thirty-five Sewcll
Republicans and the three boilers can 1T
any moment he united upon Phelps. The
two Labor men come from Phelps district,
where his personal popularity is great, and
his strength with the workingmcn notable.
II has been more than once remarked that
Speaker Baird was ready TO vote Tor
Phelps. Scwell is perfectly willing To help
Phelps get there rs sOon ~ he makes up
his mind that he cannot get there himself.
If he arrives at that conclusion this week

SEIZED In SPAIN.
Another Outrage on American Shipmast-
ers-A suit for Damages Begun.


PHILADELPHIA. February 2l.-An-
other of those outrages which American
shipmasters encounter in Spain and its
provinces is reported from Malaga, where
the Philadelphia bark G. Reusens has
been seized and sold after having been de-
tanned for over two years.
The trouble arose mainly EIOm heavy
debt forced upon the bark by Samuel Dab
ney, American Consul at Fayal, Azores
Islands.
The Reusens sailed from New York the
latter part of ISL for Malaga, Spain, with
general cargo of merchandise, and by
reason OF heavy weather she was Obliged to
put into Fayal rs harhor of refuge. \
Board of Survey was called by the master
of the ReusenS, who contendcd, rs the re-
pairs would amount To more than the value
of the bark, that she should he condemned
rs a constructive total loss and abandoned
TO the underwriters.
Consul Dabncy, who is q dealer i'll ves-
sels' supplies, however, insisted in repair
ing the bark, which he did, taking i'll pay
ment Il bOttOmIy bond payable on the YES
sci and cargo. When the bark arrived at
Malaga, the owners found their craft hope
leSSly in debt. Their only salvation would
be to get her home where the obligation
could be paid without difficulty. They
also found that debt contracted outside Of
Spain or her dominions could not be en-
forced within her provinces. In spite of
all this the vessel was seized and q writ
issued fer her cOnfscatiOn, and for two
years she was in charge of Spanish Ofli-
cial rotting at the wharves,
1.-The Spanish Government has since dis
covered its errors, through the efforts of
Henry Marston, the U. S. Consul General
at Malaga, who fought the case for the
owners of the vessel. A suit for damages
has been brought against the Spanish Gov
ernment by Shubert & Cottingham, A.
Conoyer, Z. Il. Risley and Others OF the
port, for damages, which demand is in the
| hands Of Secretary of State Bayard.

A CAUCUS OF TORIES.
PREMIER SALESBURY'S ADDRESS TO HIS
FOLLOWERS
Their Parliamentary POgramms-Ths German Elsc-
tons Go Against the Government in Berlin
The Result Awaited With FsVerSh
Anxiety Throughout Europe

LONDON, February 2l.-A conference Of
the Conservative party was held to-day al
the Foreign Office
The conference was largely attended by
members of both the House Of Commons
and the Lords. The meeting lasted hall
an hour.
The Marquis Of Salisbury reached the
conference promptly. He was accompan-
led by Mr.. Goschen. Both were cheered
heartily when they entered. The Premier,
in his address to the conference, referred
feelingly to the late Earl of Iddesleigh and
the loss the Government incurred by Iea-
son of his death. The Marquis also dwelt
on the secession from the Government OF
Lord Randolph Churchill which the speak
er described as "a considerable loss to the
party"
Mr.. GOschen's acceptance of Office un-
der the present government, Lord Sails
bury said, had strengthened the Conserya-
tive party. "After marking time for q
MONTH" continued the Marquis, 1--WE
have arrived at serious business" He then
said he hoped the Government would be
able, by reforming the rules of procedure
to restore to the House of Commons its
capacity for work and its reputation~to
courtesy, latter which," he added, "we
shall be able to deal with the question of
local government in Ireland and with
other measures" Loud cheers.
II hope" he said, that the present
law will be sufficient to enable the authori-
ties to cope successfully with disorder in
Ireland. In any case all bills will be
postponed until after the conclusion of the
proceedings for reform of the procedure
rules and action on the estimates. The
Government expect to present the budget
during the first week in April"
The Marquis predicted n long lease of
Office for the Conservatives.
Several members urged that the Govern
ment Introduce i'll Parliament local gov
ernment bill for England, Scotland and
Wales, the provisions of which should cx-
tend to Ireland.
Mr.. Edwin de Lisle, Conservative mem
ber for Middle Leicestershire, spoke, saying
that as a Roman Catholic Conservative he
denounced the conduct of Archbishop
Croke, of Cashel, Ireland, in openly en-
couraging the conduct of the Irish National
League, and said he would like TO have the
Archbishop tried for this conduct by a jury
of English Catholics in London. This
statement provoked great enthusiasm in
the conference

Coopers' Strike a.FaiIure.

New YORK, February 21.-The striking
coopers are getting back to work again,
wherever employers will take them.
At Briggs cooperage number of old
hands returned to work this morning
Others would be glad to do 50 but are
afraid that personal violence would follow.
All the men are at work at Weiderman's,
in Williamsburg. They did not strike as
was reported, and all attempts OF District
Assembly No. 49, X. of L., to get these
men to quit work, or join the COOpers'
Union or Knights of Labor, have failed.
One large New York firm has sent to
South Carolina for colOred cOOpers to take
the place of the strikers. The men taken
back by this firm are only those who We're
forced to quit work by threats; no other
strikers will again be given work. The
strikers still out number in all about 300.
The strike has not affected the millers'
trade

Political Excitement in Canada.

OTTAWA, ONT, February 2l.-POliticaI
excitement is at fever heat in this city,
and, in fact, throughout the country.
Il is generally felt by both parties that
the country is on the eveof agreat change
in It's political administration, and that
tue general election tomorrow will remove
from Office the present Tory Government,
which has held the rcins Of power with
h,7ily any intermissiOn since the cOnteder'
atlUu
Ata mass meeting held Saturday night
the Hon : H. Blake, brother Of the Hon
Eiwarl Blake, leader of the Liberal party,
limited strongly that if the Liberals should
get into power, among their first acts would
be an attempt to conclude satisfactory fish
cry, reciprocity and extradition treaties be
tween Canada and the United States. Thl;
policy, he argued, was extremely desirable
and would be decidedly in the interests oI
Canada, beSides doing away with the
strained relations existing between the two
countries.

LUMBER CAMP HORRORS.
A Priests Investigation Along the Ottawa
Leads to Shocking Disclosures.

n Priests Investigation Along The Ottawa
Leads to Shocking Disclosures.
BOsTON, February 21.-A Desert, Que
bee, dispatch says that some weeks ago the
Rev. Father POolier, who is connected
with the Temiscaingue Colonization anG
Settlement Comhany, went to visit the
lumber camps in the wilderness north o.
here
His mission was to investigate the re-
ports that have long been in circulation Of
the terrible treatment to which women are
subjected in that region. lie says the fnll
truth has not been told and never will be.
He will apply to the Government for aid
in breaking up the deus of vice which
abound in every lumber camp along the
upper Ottawa. Four months in the year
the loggcrs make their home in the camp.
Gradually here and there throughout the
vast tracts of wilderness rough board hous-
cs have been built TO serve rs places for
dealing out whisky and tobacco and res
ort for the rough loggers. Female society
was asbent at first, but one by one the
owners of these places secured abandoned
women us inmates. These houses throve
and multiplied rs the demand increased.
Intelligence offices have been pressed into
service to find material to fill the ranks.
In one case it was known that the
female keeper of an intelligence office in
Montreal was decoying young girls by
promise of easy lives TO this section.
Some of thegrls escaped, and the story OF
their experience produced such an effect
that that branch Of the intelligence office
business, for the time, was closed and the
keeper arrested. The dens are holes OF
violence and crime, and the keepers are
deSperadOes. The inmates in part are un-
fortunate girls who have been lured to
the life of suffering and many of whom
are practically prisoners.
Father POolier says there are 200 women
in the camps, of whom probably half are
not over 81 years old, and in some cases
not over Il. As far rs known over dozen
have died so far this season from rough
usage and disease. One girl told Father
Poolier that she was hired in Richmond,
Quebec, to go to the North TO work as q
waitress in restaurant; that she was
met at Desert by her employer
and taken to Gilmour's camp, 40 miles &c
the northwest The camp was composed
of about 100 shanties, inhabited by 4Ot
men. There were IL other girls there
From that time her life had been one o.
vice and servitude. She was taken tC
Desert by the reverend father and SEN
home more dead than alive. 1t is probable
that the government will Mt once put s
stop to the abuse.

MUST HAVE IRONCLADS.
Admiral Porter Condemns the Use of Tor
pedoes for Protecting Ses-COast Cities.

Admiral Porter Condemns the Use of Tor
pedoes for Protecting Sea-COast Cities.
WASHINGTON, February 21.-Admiral
Porter has written letter to Congressman
Lawler on the importance of protecting the
approaches to Boston, New York and Other
cities with heavily armored monitors, car
rying the heaviest guns.
He says that torpedOes cannot be relied
upon; that during the Russo-Turkish war,
which is the. only one Except our civil
war; We know OF where tOrpedoes have
extensively used, with the hundred OF
Whitehead torpedOes employed by the Rus
slams against the Turkish navy, only one
Turkish ship of inferior quality was de-
stroyed. During our civil war, when the
COntedcrates had their rivers, harbOrs,
bars, &c, obstructed by torpedOes, the
United States lost but twenty-five ysssels,
in spite of the great energy and intrepidity
of the COnfederates. The Admiral says: Il
am quite satisfied that they were as well
prepared in those days for the defense OF
their channels as we are to-day, and much
better provided with torpedo boats"
Further on Admiral Porter says: II do
not think it any violation of confidence in
me to say that the German Government in
particular has at this moment complete
plans of all ports and every particular in
relation to the principal harbors of the
United States. 4 l don't suppose 1t
ever struck anybody that it would he
necessary to locate the heavy guns on
Coney Island to prevent fleet from an
chOring Mt that point and firing into
the city of New York. There Is
another implement of war which is now
being experimental with, which may
prove more destructive than even the
heavy rified gun-that is the ritled
mortar. Imagine % or 30 mortar boats
lying under COney Island and devastating
city and country for miles around. You
see, after all, the main defense for our
coasts and harbors is the heavy irOnclad
Monitor, with the most powerful guns that
can move from point to point, and, like
the turtle, carry its defences on its back. "
Boston, the Admiral considers, is ten
times worse off than New York. He does
not suppose there is BOstOnian at this
moment who realizes that single irODclad
could lay before the city at distance OF
live miles and knock the State House about
the ears OF the inhabitants. The only
remedy for all this is n fleet OF ironclads.
